Hi all...hey all your gardeners out there..Happy Spring...I posted this "weird" looking ground cover last year, and some said it was some sort of spice...it's really "leafy" with crazy tubular flowers underneath....what is it? cause it's back like mad...

Cheley & Moni Dew, I have something similar that's a wild violet. Where do your plants grow - sun, shade, under trees etc.? What's the true color of the blossom & when does it bloom - a particular season or all summer? My plants have a more pointy leaf and yours are more crenate. Simple test - dig up a root and look at it and taste it - I didn't say eat it, just smell and taste it. Maybe just crush some leaves and smell that. If it's ginger you'll know it.
I suspect it's one of the many wild, "native" flowers. Check and see if you have a local ag extension office and send them a leaf and see if they can identify it. Next test, look online for wild ginger. Next, find someone who is into native plants on their property. They might give you some info. That's all I've got. I can't give a definitive answer without more info and I certainly don't wish to give bad info.

I get that here in PA, too, and I'm pretty sure it's a weed. Whatever it is, it grows and grows and grows and takes over like crazy. Mine don't flower, and the leaves are much bigger than the similar-looking leaves on violets. Dig deep to get all the roots out!
